Overview

  • Destination X will premiere on BBC One and iPlayer at 9pm on July 30 and July 31.
  • Thirteen blindfolded contestants will traverse Europe on a blacked-out bus, solving clues to pinpoint each stop until the person furthest off is eliminated and a final winner claims £100,000.
  • Brydon cites Claudia Winkleman’s “lightness of touch” on The Traitors as his guide for balancing strategic gameplay with a conversational hosting style.
  • His biggest on-set challenge was relearning how to walk naturally after years of presenting from behind a desk.
  • Filming spanned 32 days across Europe with nearly 200 crew members operating main, toilet and sleeping buses on a production shot concurrently with an NBC U.S. version.
